Wow!  The title of this article sounds just like one of those TV infomercials -- but trust me about this -- I'm totally serious.

How often have you found yourself scanning a seemingly infinite number of cable or satellite TV channels only to find nothing worth watching?  Well, there are many wonderful opportunities to hone your astrological skills while being entertained.  An added plus is that your  non-astrology obsessed family members won't feel left out!

What I'm referring to is the high-quality biographical programs featured on many of the cable stations.  These programs offer commentary about or actual interviews with the individual that chronicles significant events throughout their lives.  

With a little advance notice and access to a computer astrology program like Win*Star and birth data from a quality site like http://www.astrodatabank.com/index.htm  or elsewhere, we can quickly be armed with the famous person's birth chart and follow along with the program while making mental or written notes about how the birth chart was demonstrated in their life.

We can choose to video tape the episode and play it when there is "nothing on", or replay it at our convenience to reinforce our learning.  The process can develop into a new pursuit -- with a much bigger potential payback than watching something we're not really interested in or another mindless sitcom.

You can get as detailed as you're inclined.  You can even track the effects of Transits, Solar Arcs, and Aries Points to turn the biography into an advanced learning tool.

When we're examining the life of someone "famous" we often gain easily remembered insight into astrological nuances that we can apply in our own charts or in those of people we know.

I'll conclude this month's article with two of my favorite biographical shows and links to their Web sites.  Biography even has email notification of upcoming shows to allow us to be totally prepared to watch or record the show.

Enjoy!
